I'm not sure about where you all live, but this summer has been a HOT one here in Oregon. Like we're talking "It's 106 degrees outside right now when it's usually only around 85 degrees" hot.

Even still, I have been determined not to let the heat prevent me from carrying out all of the fun plans I have for the rest of the summer -- including staying trendy. For those days when I can't get away with wearing a swimsuit 24/7 (do I haveeeee to go into work today?), I still need something that is stylish, comfortable, and flexible for anything that may come my way. My new go to for work and girl's night alike? My amazing Little Black Romper (LBR).

Much like the all-powerful LBD, the LBR is a simple yet chic one piece that can be dressed up or down to easily transition from day to night. I love wearing my black, lacy Topshop romper with strappy flats at work or for running errands, and I can easily swap out my accessories and slip into some heels for late night drinks with the girls.

Here are three easy looks that range from simple to sexy, with footwear ideas that could be mixed and matched for all of your summer plans, from weddings to bar hopping. As per usual, I've made it easy for you to add this essential staple to your summer wardrobe! Simply shop these looks using the links above. Some of the exact items above are linked underneath the collage, along with some other similar styles at a variety of price points!

Here's to an amazing August. I hope all of your summers are going well!
